Housing surge unlikely to rebound in 1976
Washington AP reports July starts plummeted 9.2 percent to an annual 1.387 million after seasonal adjustment, though 14.9 percent higher than a year earlier. NAMHB chief economist Sumichrast calls it dreadful and likely prevents a 1976 recovery, while HUD's Weicher says the decline reflects June loan slowdowns and higher rates. In New York, a major bank survey notes fewer Americans plan to buy a new home.
